Charged with stealing bridesmaids dresses

A THATCHAM woman has been accused of stealing bridesmaids dresses.

On Tuesday, June 9, Reading magistrates held a preliminary hearing in the case of Marie Worthy, who lives in Paynesdown Road.

The 52-year-old, who was excused attendance because of the coronavirus crisis, is charged with stealing a parcel belonging to the ASOS delivery service which contained two dresses, together worth £122.40, in Newbury, on Thursday, May 28.

The court ruled that the case could proceed no further that day and the matter was adjourned until a future date.

Ms Worthy was meanwhile granted unconditional bail.
